bre2ts Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'd get something like this http://www.amazon.com/Vantec-NexStar-2-5-Inch-External-Enclosure/dp/B002JQNXZC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1324661292&sr=1-1 Use it to format the SSD and then once formatted put the SSD in the computer and use the old hard drive in the case for a external drive. thats actually a good idea... even though i have 3 tb externals and 4 250mbs and 2 500mbs.... i can always use an extra external hdd Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert8252 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Damn right you can't have enough. Lol. I have two 2tb for media. 1tb for time machine backup. A couple 40gb, a 80gb and a 500gb laying around somewhere. Lol. Looking into a SSD for my Mac mini. Just hoping they come down in price a little more early next year.
